TOWN OF ULSTER >> A Lake Katrine man has been charged with sex crimes involving a child, state police said Wednesday.

Bruce A. Snow, 57, was arrested Tuesday by the Ulster County Family & Child Advocacy Center and charged with the felonies of sexual abuse and promoting obscene sexual performance by a child and the misdemeanor of endangering the welfare of a child.

The center comprises members of the state police, the Ulster County Sheriff’s Office, the Ulster County District Attorney’s Office and Ulster County Child Protective Services.

Snow’s arrest followed an investigation finding that, in January 2011, he engaged in sexual contact with a juvenile and was in possession of a sexually explicit digital image he produced of himself and the victim at that time, state police said. Police did not release the age or gender of the victim.

Police said the incident happened in Snow’s home in Lake Katrine, a town of Ulster hamlet.

The case has been referred to the DA’s office and the investigation will continue, police said.

Snow was arraigned in Rosendale Town Court and sent to the Ulster County Jail in lieu of $7,500 bail.
